the programs from alanit are now freeware

Postby José Luis Sánchez » Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:42 pm

Hello,
I want to say to all forum users that my programs, made with FWH, are completely free and that my intention is to release the code as open source over this year. You can download the programs from http://www.alanit.com and you can follow my blog http://www.alanit.com/blog
And by the way, I want to thank all forum members for their help during my time programming with FWH.
Regards,
José Luis Sánchez

avemundi.com vs. alanit.com

Hello José,

May I ask why you didn’t keep avemundi. Isn’t this Latin and means “hello world”?

For me avemundi was a very good domain name.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,
avemundi is 'hello world' in latin. alanit means 'at night' in Catalan, which is my native language, I have ever done in my home at night, and that's the meaning.
The first reason for having a website was selling the program and alanit was the domain wich I started. Somehow I will still program, and so I decided to keep the name. I want to keep the domain registration avemundi.com if someday I decide to start another project.

Hello Jose,
I made a domain check:
alanit.com has a suggested value: 540 - 630 €
avemundi.com: 3.000 - 3.500 €
This is corresponding with my feeling. If I where you I would use avemundi.com if you don’t have problems with other trademarks.
Best regards,
Otto

Silvio, this is a long-considered decision. I have a full time job, family, and I used to program at night at home. In the last months when my children sleeps I prefer read a book or talk to my wife. I think I musn't sell software if I can't give a good support to my users. In the next week I'll post my tinforme here.

Otto, this is also a long-considered decision. I prefer use alanit.com, but keep the registration of avemundi.com. How can I make the domain check that you says ?

José,
I used this link:
http://www.adresso.de/pages/schnellbewertung.php

There are nearly all vowels included in avemundi only o is missing. I would say this is a perfect name.
There are some really good trademarks based on Latin words: AUDI which was first originally in German Horch which means listen.
Semperit and much more.

Best regards,
Otto

Hi Otto,



If you use this link:

http://www.adressio.de/index.php?mselect=2

mostly you get a higher value, because they include 3 more points. Here you get these results:

alanit.com: 60.004 Euro
avemundi.com: 9.924 Euro

Josè,
I understood your decision, for me it is becoming difficult to take care of programming, and because I have problems at work and partly because I'm neglecting my family, my dogs, my friends.
To create a simple application, there are always problems

There are object classes that create them should have been a long time and still are not quite working perfectly.
Very often working friends ask me to help create small applications and websites and I have to work even at night.

thank for Tinforme, I think you must pubblish all sources into www.avemundi.com e keep this website, I found a Mantainer for a website ( php and worpress,mysql) one yar only 16,00 euro ( look Netsons.net)
Best Regards, Saludos
